ClearPolicy and Legislations on Microplastics Pollution Management in Vietnam
This paper reviews Vietnam's legal framework for managing plastic pollution, including microplastics, finding that while legislation exists it lacks specific provisions for microplastics and implementation is weak. Stronger, more targeted policy is needed to address the country's growing plastic waste problem.
International Law and Regulation of Marine Microplastics: Current Situation, Problems, and Development
This study evaluated the current international legal framework governing marine microplastic pollution and identified significant gaps in regulatory coverage. Researchers found that existing global and regional legal instruments lack the specificity and enforcement mechanisms needed to effectively address microplastic contamination. The study offers recommendations for strengthening international law to better regulate the sources and impacts of marine microplastic pollution.
Fast Fashion Issue in Vietnam: Legal Aspects and Environmental Protection
This review examines the fast fashion phenomenon in Vietnam from legal and environmental protection perspectives, analyzing how accelerating fashion consumption contributes to textile waste and microplastic pollution. The paper identifies gaps in Vietnamese environmental law and policy frameworks for regulating the fashion industry's environmental impacts.
The Study of the Laws of Vietnam to Prevent and Control Marine Environmental Pollution from Ship's Garbage
This study examines Vietnamese maritime law governing the prevention and control of marine environmental pollution from ship-generated garbage, analyzing how existing regulations align with international standards for managing waste from vessel operations. The authors identify gaps in Vietnam's legal framework for controlling ship-source pollution and recommend strengthening enforcement and compliance mechanisms to protect national marine waters.
Riverine Microplastic Pollution in Vietnam: A Review of Current Scientific Knowledge and Legal Policies
This review summarizes current scientific knowledge and legal policies regarding microplastic pollution in Vietnam's rivers. Evidence indicates that microplastics are present in riverine surface water, sediments, and biota across Vietnam's canal and estuarine systems, with potential implications for human health through seafood consumption and drinking water.
Plastic Waste Management in Indonesia: Current Legal Approaches and Future Perspectives
A normative analysis of Indonesian plastic waste governance found that existing laws and regulations contain significant weaknesses, including inadequate enforcement mechanisms and unclear stakeholder roles, calling for strengthened legal approaches to address the country's major plastic pollution problem.
From micro to macro: legal tools for combating plastic pollution at national, EU, and international levels
Researchers analyzed how laws at the national, European Union, and international levels have evolved to address microplastic pollution, tracing the shift from voluntary guidelines to binding rules like the EU's 2023 restriction on synthetic microparticles. The review identifies ongoing challenges — including inconsistent definitions and weak enforcement — and calls for stronger global governance to close the legal gaps.
Evaluating Pollution from Aquaculture Materials and Developing Sustainable Alternatives to Reduce Marine Environmental Impacts: A Case Study in Vietnam
Researchers assessed the status of marine pollution associated with aquaculture activities in Vietnam, with particular emphasis on plastic and microplastic contamination from aquaculture materials, and developed recommendations for more sustainable alternatives to reduce the environmental footprint of coastal aquaculture operations.
Assessment and Sustainable Management Strategies for Plastic Waste in Can Tho City, Vietnam: A Circular Economy Approach
Researchers conducted a comprehensive analysis of plastic waste accumulation in both land and water environments in Can Tho City, Vietnam, applying a circular economy framework. The study proposes sustainable management strategies for reducing plastic pollution in a country with high per capita plastic consumption and significant waste discharge.
A preliminary assessment of microplastic occurrence and their potential risk as pollutant transport vectors: A case study in Phu Ly, Ha Nam, Vietnam
Researchers conducted a preliminary assessment of microplastic occurrence in Vietnam, identifying microplastics in environmental samples and raising concern about their role as vectors for co-transported pollutants in an undersampled region of Southeast Asia.
Ô nhiễm rác thải nhựa - một vấn đề nan giải
This Vietnamese-language overview discusses plastic waste pollution as a serious global environmental problem, describing its impacts on ecosystems, wildlife, human health, and the economy. The paper calls for improved waste collection, recycling, and policy action to address the growing plastic crisis.
Challenges for Regulation and Management of Microplastic in Environment and Proposed Changes
This review examines failures in international law and national regulations to adequately address microplastic pollution in water bodies, arguing that recent treaty negotiations have been insufficient and proposing regulatory changes to better manage microplastics in the environment.
Microplastic Pollution and Corporate Legal Responsibility: Environmental and Business Regulation Perspectives
This study applied normative legal analysis to evaluate corporate liability for microplastic pollution under Indonesian environmental and business regulation. The authors found that Indonesia lacks a clear legal framework defining corporate obligations for microplastic waste, and proposed regulatory reforms that would establish corporate responsibility across the plastic production lifecycle.
Legal Analysis of the Prevention of Marine Microplastics Pollution
This legal analysis examines international law frameworks governing marine microplastic pollution prevention, identifying obstacles including enforcement difficulties, weak jurisdictional clarity, and insufficient coordination among existing treaty regimes, while noting growing attention to microplastics in UN General Assembly resolutions and calling for stronger multilateral legal mechanisms.
Preventing Microplastic Pollution in Surface Waters: Legal Frameworks and Strategic Actions
This study reviews the legal frameworks and strategic actions being developed in India and internationally to prevent microplastic contamination of surface waters. Researchers examined policies including plastic waste management rules, bans on single-use plastics, and extended producer responsibility programs. The study highlights that while regulatory progress has been made, effective enforcement and coordination between governments, industry, and the public remain essential for reducing microplastic pollution in waterways.
Assessing Indonesia’s Environmental Laws Pertaining to the Abatement of Marine Plastic Pollution: A Euphemism?
This study examined Indonesia's environmental laws governing marine plastic pollution, finding significant gaps between legislative intent and enforcement capacity, and arguing that stronger regulatory frameworks, improved waste infrastructure, and community-based approaches are needed to reduce the country's large contribution to ocean plastics.
Investigation of Prevailing Directives Regarding Microplastic Pollution
This review examines prevailing regulations and directives governing microplastic pollution, which enters land and water environments through inadequate plastic waste management and urban wastewater discharge. The authors analyze gaps in current policy frameworks and assess the effectiveness of existing global and regional legislative approaches.
Abundances and characteristics of sedimentary microplastics in the three main Vietnamese Rivers
